Gene sequence (ENSG...)

Ensembl protein coding genes can be described as a set of
splice variants resulting from alignments of cDNA and protein
sequence to the genome and/or manual annotation by the Havana
project. Human Ensembl genes are the GENCODE set. Read more
about Ensembl genes in our help page
or documentation,
including noncoding genes such as ncRNA and pseudogenes.

(splice variants) in one particular gene.

Export gene sequence

To export gene sequence, click the 'Export Data' button in the left hand menu.

In the resulting window, choose 'Deselect all', which will not
deselect the gene sequence.

Click 'Next' to export the sequence.

Transcript sequence (ENST...)

An Ensembl transcript is a single splice variant that can be coding
or noncoding. A coding transcript is comprised of UnTranslated Region (UTR)
at the 5' and 3' ends, and the CoDing sequence (CDS). To see the sequence
of the UTR and CDS, you must select a splice variant, and be in the Transcript tab.
